Global warming mitigation proponents have come up with new research that says that methane, the chief component in natural gas, is responsible for 25% of global warming to date.

8Despite its price tag ($1.3 trillion) and its role in the climate crisis, the expansion of LNG infrastructure has received relatively little scrutiny in terms of stranded asset risk.
8But attention to stranded asset issues is rising due to increased cost pressure on natural gas by renewable alternatives.
